Dvd disk wont fit full movie ?

[takovr]

Im trying to put a 4.4 gig mpeg 2 movie on a 4.7 blank r disk, I have tried
to do it but it wont fit. Im using roxio creater clasic to copy the 4.4 mpeg movie to disk. Does a dvd r disk hold 4.7 gigs or am I missing something here...

It does hold 4.7GB, but you have to remember that a gig is 1024 MB.

So the actually file size can not be over about 4.37GB. Here are the actuall specs.

Blank DVD-R 4,489MB 4,706,074,624 bytes or 4.383GB
Blank DVD+R 4,483MB 4,700,372,992 bytes or 4.377GB

Use DVDShrink to compress it slightly to fit on one disc
